The inspection cover on the VSI was open, the employee bumped the plate causing the cover to shut. The plate struck the employee, resulting in a broken arm. Two conditions contributed to the accident (1) the inspection cover lacked an OEM locking mechanism to hold it safely open (2) the employee was new to the position and had not developed adequate safety awareness.
